more appreciative audience never vel
coined them. The first part of the triple
BILL which was the second act of "Ingomar, "
McCabe as "1ngomar" and Miss

their very difficult roles with
wonderful skill. In the third act OF "Vir-

programme, Mr. Lawrence Hanley eXcelled
himself His portrayal of passion was ex-
cellent, and his work throughout was highly
creditable. Mr.. Larry Doyle was the cen
trial figure in His Last Legs, " the farce that
concluded the programme. The comedy

audience in a roar. Mr.. J. Cottonwood an

to Nothing.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 29.-President
Morrow t5legraphed that Charles Lewis, of
ST. Louis, had been appointed leaugue

Nashville the benefit of all close decisions.
About $500 people saw the game, which
was one of theflnest played here. The field
ing on both sides was very fine, Hayes for
Nashville and Fuller for New Orleans
especially doing phenomenal work. Geiss
and the two first basemen, McIvy and
Firle also played excellently. Nashville
could not hit Ewing safely, and twice with
men on third he struck out two in success
sion. Kelly was not hit bard and Nicholas
gave him great support, but the errors were
costly, and these with timely hits by Geiss
and Cartwright won the game The score

gers this afternoon Hungler and Hines

and Smith and Crotty for the visitors. Mem
phis won the game in the first inning, when
they pounded Hungler for four runs. After
that Charleston rallied, and for six innings
held the visitors down. III the seventh,
however, Hungler again lost control Of the
ball, and Charleston went TO pieces. The
men played as if they were dazed. There
were no coachers on the lines. and this lost
them the game, although two splendid

From the -4mericlts GA Recorder.
The following letter from Superintendent
Cole will explain why the work of putting
in a telephone exchange has been so long
delayed. We trust that the question of
rates will be amicobly adjusted, and that
Americas will in a short while be permitted

GENTLEMEN When Mr.. Gentry canvass
ed Americas for subscribers to telephone
exchange we acted in perfect good faith.
NY estimate was put in for construction
and approved, and | have already ordered
poles for the exchange, but within the last
few days there has been a bill put in the
Legislature to have an act passed limiting
the rental which a telephone company can
charge to 80 30 month, $50 year We
hope to find enough sensible business men
among our legislators to defeat this bill but
until it is defeated we shall be obliged to
postpone the building of the Americas FIX
change We are very sorry to be Obliged. 20
do this, but as you will readily see we can
not afford TO build an exchange upon a
Sc so a month rate. l will have everything
in readiness to build this exchange as soon
as we are assured that the State government
will not force our rates below a paying
basis. If this bill passes we shall close every
exchange in the State of Georgia.

day ana the lurid flames that lighted mp the
heavens in that vicinity during the night
had disappeared. While hunting that
swamp recently he noticed the cleats nailed
up on the side of tall trees some years ago by
Judge White and his party of explorers in
their efforts TO discover the origin OF the
smoke, and decided to follow up the route
started by them and see what it would lead
to. After penetrating the jungle about a
mile further in from where Judge White
was deserted by his party and forced to
abandon the enterprise, Mr.. Shuler says
that he came upon large mound of rent
and shattered rocks covering an area
of about a half-acre, and lying
around as though thrown there
by some powerful force from
underneath. The crevices between the rock
were smoked black and the under sides of
the rocks were covered with SCOT, like the
inside of smoked lamp chimney. Evil
dences of big fire that had blazed up from
underneath was to be seen all around, but
there was then no fire, heat nor smoke to be
seen. He thinks the volcano was simply the
burning of a natural oil well, which has
been consumed and had gone out.

| d. Williams, upon the charge of assault to
murder Miss Emma Pickett, a white woman
| living within one mile of the town. The
evidence showed that on Friday night last
the woman was sitting near an open window
in rocking chair falling TO her mother,
and man named Hughes. Between and
8 O'Clock, person outside threw heavy
iron skillet through the window, striking
the chair and the woman's shoulder
at the same time, breaking the
chair post, knocking her to the
| floor, infiicting severe and painful wound
upon the shoulder blade. Half brick
quickly followed the skillet, missing the
woman and knocking hole through table
standing near. The assailant then fled past
the window TO the railroad. The woman
| claimed to identify the prisoner by glimpse
she had of his face. As he passed the win
dow the light reflected through it. She
swore positively the man was a negro, but
she was not able to swear positively the
prisoner was the man. The fact also, that
the man was long in the employ of a former
paramour of hers whose interest she be-
lieved was to put her under the sod, was to
her proof of his identity. The prisoner
established by witnesses that he was at
Cairo, seven miles from the scene of the
attack, at the time. The court bound him
over to the Superior Court. He was asked
to give $3.50 bond He did so.
AT the last session of the present LeglSla-
ture bill was introduced for the relief of
Maj. Sam Morgan, one of the bondsmen of
the Bank of Rome. When the bank failed
it owed the State of Georgia about S54 900,
the bank being one of the State repositories.
About 81 900 was collected out of the as
sets of the bank, and suit brought against
the bondsnen for the remainder of the
money. For various reasons all of the
other bondsmen of the bank and Maj. Nor
gan were caught for the full amount of
what was needed TO square up the banks
account with the State A Judgment was
rendered against Maj Morgan, and execu-
ton issued, upon which was collected the
balance due, with Z per cent. in
terest and $1,000 attorneys fees for
Capt. Henry jackson, who was engaged
by the Governor TO represent the State
Maj Morgan now wants to be relieved of
paying the sum over and above the amount
for which he stood security. He does not
the interest or the $1,000 attorneys fees
paid for collecting the money. His friends
cannot see why Capt. jackson should have
been employed in the case when the State
has an Attorney General employed to rep
resent her in all legal matters The Finance
Committee has concluded to make an adj
verse report on the measure, and require
Maj Morgan to foot the bill II is more
than probable that when the report of the
committee comes up in the House for adop-
ton the friends of Maj. Morgan will make
strong fight in his behalf, on the ground
that he has been unjustly treated in the
matter.
